The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's independent concert spaces.
The star was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his third album the album was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
The money assisted locations that were facing potential shutdown due to issues arising from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from shows in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his award prize money to worthy causes.
In they earned the prize in 1996 for their release their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, artist she shared her award between multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," she told the media.
In recent years, the band gave their prize money to the community center that developed their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners the group gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was ample," remarked singer the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had rescued several grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under local control.
The first in that area and The Croft in the city were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
